• The Lord of Nothingness’s curse began weakening Awakened Ones’ powers, first becoming noticeable among people who had awakened recently.

Lord of Nothingness’s curse spread across the world, weakening the Awakened Ones’ powers and severing older Guardians from their Watcher Bloodline. As governments and Marines failed to find a cure, several Awakened Ones gathered in an East Blue church, where Lily sensed something while focusing on Lin Ye’s will.

• Luffy, Ace, and Zoro discovered that their abilities had weakened, and Sengoku recognized the change as Lord of Nothingness’s curse taking effect.
• Lin Ye’s voice reached the Awakened Ones through their Starlight Fragments, urging them to hold on to their desire to protect others even if their powers faded.

• Governments and scientists searched for a cure, but Dr. Vegapunk explained that the curse eroded the soul’s connection to the Watcher Bloodline, while Marine observers reported it was spreading faster than expected.
• In an East Blue church, Awakened Ones gathered to pray and recall Lin Ye’s deeds, and Lily sensed something as she focused on his will.

Lily discovered that Watchers Gatherings connected people through the starlight Lin Ye left in their hearts, temporarily slowing the curse’s drain on their powers. As the curse continued to grow stronger, the heroes met at Mary Geoise to seek a lasting solution, and Sakazuki proposed redistributing power among everyone.

• Lily led a group meditation that linked the starlight in their hearts, creating a protective field and temporarily stopping their powers from weakening.
• Watchers Gatherings spread across the world, where Vivi, Doflamingo, Marco, and others shared memories of Lin Ye and found strength in their connections.
• The heroes realized that the gatherings only delayed the curse, so they assembled at Mary Geoise to find a fundamental solution.
• Luffy urged the group to break the curse, while Ace, Zoro, Jinbe, and Sengoku debated how to fight or study it.
• Sakazuki proposed redistributing power so that everyone would hold a small, stable share instead of leaving great power concentrated in a few people.

Luffy, Sengoku, and the others agreed to distribute most of their power among ordinary people through the Watcher Legacy. The worldwide ceremony weakened the curse and left humanity sharing the ability to protect the world.

• Luffy, Ace, Jinbe, and Sengoku agreed that spreading Watcher power among everyone could hinder the curse, and named the plan the Watcher Legacy.
• Vivi, Doflamingo, shipwrights in Water 7, and Awakened Ones across the world supported sharing their power.
• Luffy, Ace, Zoro, Jinbe, Sengoku, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and other powerful Awakened Ones released their strength during the worldwide distribution ceremony.
• Ordinary people gained faint abilities, while weakened Awakened Ones felt their power stabilize and recover as the curse's effects diminished.
• Lin Ye's will reached the world through the Seven-Colored Star, and Luffy, Ace, Zoro, and Sengoku recognized that everyone had become a guardian.

The collective will of humanity reshaped the Solar System and Earth, reviving destroyed planets and healing the damage left by the Lord of Nothingness. As life spread across the world, people gained superhuman abilities and society began to change.

• The Sun reignited, and astronomers observed its fusion reactions becoming stable under the influence of collective consciousness.
• Mars, Nusjuro, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto reformed and showed signs of life.
• Earth healed the Pacific impact crater and the rift between South America and Africa, while volcanic regions calmed and new plants appeared.

• Oceans cleared, endangered marine populations recovered, and scientists discovered bioluminescent creatures and thinking coral reefs.
• People used their new abilities to improve work in factories, farms, and medicine, while the fragment of Lin Ye's will they shared strengthened their empathy.

As superpowers repeatedly went out of control around the world, governments struggled to contain the resulting chaos. Luffy proposed founding the Watchers Alliance to teach people to control their abilities, and the group prepared to seek support from governments.

• A loan applicant in New York lost control of his metal-sensing ability and twisted a bank vault door, while similar power-related accidents erupted around the world.
• World leaders reported widespread losses of control, escapes from prisons, disruption of courts, collapsing public trust, and dangers within the military.
• Luffy, Ace, Zoro, Jinbe, and Sabo discussed the crisis in Foosha Village and agreed that ordinary people needed to learn how to control their powers.
• Luffy proposed founding the Watchers Alliance, a voluntary organization that would establish branches and send instructors around the world.
• Sabo noted that the alliance would need government support, and Luffy argued that the group’s experience mattered more than the power they had lost.

After establishing the Watchers Alliance, Luffy and his allies opened its headquarters in the ruins of Mary Geoise and began training recruits and coordinating branches. Doflamingo arrived seeking to join, leaving the Alliance to consider his request.

• Luffy, Ace, Zoro, and Jinbe established the Watchers Alliance’s framework, with its headquarters in Foosha Village and a curriculum focused on responsible use of power.
• A month later, Luffy welcomed volunteers to the rebuilt Mary Geoise headquarters and explained that the Alliance would have no hierarchy.
• Ace began training John to control his metal-manipulating ability by calming his emotions, while Zoro taught students the Heart Sword Way.
• Jinbe coordinated with branches in Dressrosa, Alabasta, and Water 7, encouraging each region to use its own strengths.
• Doflamingo arrived at headquarters and asked to join the Watchers Alliance, prompting Ace to question his motives.

Doflamingo joined the Watchers Alliance to use his past mistakes to guide newly Awakened people, while the Alliance expanded worldwide. A newly conscious Mars then contacted Ace and warned that an evil force was approaching from deep space.

• Luffy welcomed Doflamingo into the Watchers Alliance after hearing that he wanted to warn the newly Awakened about abusing power.
• Over the next three months, the Alliance established twelve hundred branches, and Awakened volunteers used their abilities to help their communities.
• Vivi told Luffy that countries should adapt the government-Alliance partnership to their own needs, and Luffy agreed.
• Dr. Johnson detected an unfamiliar signal from Mars, and observatories around the world confirmed the consciousness fluctuation.
• Ace felt Mars calling to him and communicated with the newly conscious planet, which warned him that a dangerous force was approaching from deep space.

Ace and the Watchers Alliance learned that the Star Eaters were heading toward the Solar System, so Luffy organized a team to communicate with the awakened planets and prepare for their arrival. The chapter ended with Void Hunters commander Karax identifying the Solar System as valuable prey.

• Ace warned Luffy that Mars and other reborn planets had sensed a danger and were trying to contact Earth.
• Luffy established the Interstellar Communication Group, and volunteers Tanaka Keiko, Hans, and Carlos helped reveal that the Star Eaters were approaching the galaxy.
• The group learned that the Star Eaters devoured planetary consciousness and could arrive in about ten years, prompting Luffy to call for the Solar System to prepare.
• Karax the Star Devourer examined the Solar System and identified its awakened planets, Earth’s life network, and the Seven-Colored Star as an extraordinary harvest.

The Void Hunters discovered the Solar System's planetary consciousness network and planned to hunt its planets, beginning with Pluto. As Pluto sounded the alarm, Jupiter received its desperate call for help.

• Karax reviewed the Void Hunters' records and sent stealth scouts to investigate the Solar System.
• The scouts reported that Earth's inhabitants formed a powerful network with eight Awakened Planets and that Lin Ye's Consciousness Crystal came from a Star-Destroying Level being.
• Karax approved a plan to sever the planetary connections, starting with the vulnerable Pluto.
• Pluto sensed the approaching fleet and warned the Planetary Network that professional planet hunters had arrived.
• Tanaka Keiko, Ace, and the Watchers Alliance learned that the enemy wanted the planets' life energy and Lin Ye's Consciousness Crystal.
• Pluto sent a desperate plea for help, and Jupiter received it first.

Pluto warned the Solar System’s awakened planets that planet-hunting ships were approaching, and the threat triggered despair across the Planetary Network. After Jupiter offered a way to reach the battlefield through consciousness fusion, Luffy, Zoro, Jinbe, and Ace teleported to Pluto to defend it.

• Pluto told the planets that hunters who had destroyed thousands of galaxies were coming to devour awakened worlds.
• Ace felt the planets’ despair through a deep blue flame and learned that the hunters targeted the Solar System’s eight awakened planets, Earth’s life network, and Lin Ye’s Consciousness Crystal.
• Jinbe reported that 9,847 Watchers worldwide had sensed the threat, while the Alliance realized humanity could not travel to the outer Solar System with its current technology.
• Jupiter offered to teleport the strongest Guardians if they fused their consciousness with its own, and Luffy, Zoro, Jinbe, and Ace agreed.
• The four fused with Jupiter’s consciousness and teleported from Earth toward Pluto to protect it.

Luffy, Ace, and Zoro merged their consciousnesses with Jupiter to travel faster than light in Life Pods and reach Pluto. As they neared the endangered planet, they learned Void Hunters were draining its life and chose to eject from their pods early to attack.

• Jupiter created three Life Pods, and Luffy, Ace, and Zoro entered them to fuse their consciousnesses with the gas giant.
• Luffy endured Jupiter's vast memories, Ace resonated with its electromagnetic storms, and Zoro used his sword-like will to navigate its consciousness.
• Jupiter launched the Life Pods toward Pluto, which accelerated past the speed of light.
• Jupiter sensed a black energy field around Pluto and revealed that a Life-Extraction Device was draining the planet's consciousness.
• Luffy, Ace, and Zoro agreed to leave their Life Pods early despite the danger of exposure to space, targeting the Void Hunter fleet near Pluto.

Luffy, Ace, and Zoro reached Pluto and attacked the Void Hunter warships draining its life, but most of their attacks only fed the enemy. Zoro wounded a warship with his will-based sword intent, prompting the Void Hunters to send Void Soldiers after the trio, who were left struggling against enemies that drained life energy on contact.

• Luffy, Ace, and Zoro arrived at Pluto and found its life energy being drained by three Void Hunter warships while dark matter was injected into the planet.
• Luffy's punch and Ace's flames were absorbed by a warship, while Zoro's Formless Slash cracked its armor with an attack of willpower.
• The warships stopped draining Pluto and turned toward the trio, releasing waves of Void Soldiers.
• A Void Soldier drained Luffy's life energy after his punch passed through its body, while Ace was surrounded by three more and found his flames ineffective.

Luffy, Zoro, and Ace struggled against the Void Hunters as Pluto’s life faded, until Rainbow Starlight arrived with the united consciousness of seven Awakened Planets. The Solar System confronted the Void Hunters, and the Seven-Colored Star flared with brilliant light as battle began.

• Luffy, Zoro, and Ace fought off the growing swarm of Void Soldiers while Pluto’s life force dwindled.
• Zoro opened a path with his sword technique, and Luffy used his will to turn Zoro’s sword hilt into a giant rubber blade that dispersed a group of Void Soldiers.
• The Void Soldiers fused into three enormous Void Giants and prepared to strike the exhausted trio.
• Rainbow Starlight arrived as the combined consciousness of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, freezing the Void Giants and demanding that they release Pluto.
• The largest Void Warship threatened the Solar System and demanded Earth’s Consciousness Crystals, while Rainbow Starlight refused and declared the Solar System ready to fight.
• Luffy, Ace, and Zoro regained hope as the Seven-Colored Star erupted in blinding light.

Lin Ye’s consciousness projection awakened on Pluto, destroying the Void Soldiers, crippling three Void Warships, and severing the tentacles threatening the planet. Before fading, he warned Luffy, Ace, and Zoro that the much larger Void Hunter Fleet was approaching and sent them back to Earth, where Jinbe prepared humanity for war.

• The Seven-Colored Star appeared above Pluto, and Lin Ye’s projection emerged as the Void Giants retreated from its radiance.
• Lin Ye’s Life Will disintegrated the Void Soldiers and Giants, then his light swords pierced the three Void Warships and severed Pluto’s tentacles.
• Karax ordered the advance force to keep attacking, but Lin Ye’s projection began to fade from the effort of awakening.
• Lin Ye protected Luffy, Ace, and Zoro, warned them that the true Void Hunter Fleet was on its way, and told them to find Jinbe and become stronger before sending them to Earth.
• Jinbe raised the Watchers Alliance to its highest alert and went to a sealed room holding Lin Ye’s secret plan, as the Solar System changed three days after Lin Ye’s consciousness fragments dispersed.
